How far is it from Slim to Nunn?

[hotdogPi]

Do you need to change recipes or how long to cook things due to the high elevation?

[SectorZ]

Is Terri Nunn, frontwoman of the band Berlin, from Nunn?

Or is she from Berlin? I'm all confused.

opinions vary -- nunn is right around 5000 feet (its on the plains). i personally never have and everything came out alright but my mom is super ocd about stuff like this.

Are you asking if the laws of physics cease to exist on his stove?

I might as well continue the thread chain.  I've seen a thread for Nunn, CO, but not Colorado proper. Ask me about any stereotypes or misconceptions about Colorado here, serious or not!

Typically, blue counties are either urban, minority, or college towns. Colorado has a whole bunch that are none of those. What makes them blue?

Once when i was in Dallas for the Cotton Bowl, I was at a restaurant where the tables were the shape of the state of Texas. The waitress was very proud of their Texas-shaped tables. I told her that wasn't such a big deal as I'd been to five or six restaurants in Colorado where the tables were the shape of Colorado and she said, "Really?"

There are a lot of democrat voters in ski towns, as they are mainly "hippie." For SW Colorado, that is where the Ute Indian Reservation is.

State-shaped tables are very common in Wyoming as well. Not too many of those in Saskatchewan, though...

Lots of money from California in those counties is a reasonably simple explanation too.

Do you engage in a local rivalry with Ault?

[JayhawkCO]

I thought you lived off CO14 in the Canyon.  Is your address really Nunn?

[SkyPesos]

What's the best pizza place there?

Also, I'm not sure specifically what counties are being looked at, but doesn't Colorado have significant Hispanic and Native American populations?

Yes, in the south.

Yeah, but those don't contribute that much to the overall "blueness" of Colorado voting.  Rich mountain counties like Eagle, Summit, and Pitkin vote blue because of the rich folk that can afford to live up there in addition to the ski bums.

there's actually the nunn cafe, worked there when i lived there. it's a standard roadside eatery, sometimes open, sometimes closed. i suspect it's never been profitable, since various people buy it, run it for a while, then it sits closed again.
